Students of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, who were recently suspended by the management of the institution, have kicked against the allegation that they were involved in criminal activities.
The leadership of the Students’ Union of the university, who spoke on their behalf on Monday, said the suspended students did not engage in any criminal activity.
The student leaders argued that the affected students were suspended for expressing their displeasure over the poor welfare conditions on the university campus.
They said this in a press statement jointly signed by the President of the union, Oyekan Ibukun; its Secretary-General, Boluwajaiye Adeoluwa, and Public Relations Officer, Okediji Simon.
The OAU authority on Friday announced the suspension of four undergraduates of the university over alleged involvement in criminal activities and a breach of the university’s code of conduct, among other offences.
The students, who condemned the suspension, complained that two postgraduate students were also suspended for also protesting.
